Bingo Bill

this is from the Associated Press-

Missouri residents soon could have more chances to play bingo.

Gov.
Jay Nixon signed legislation Thursday letting bingo parlors open
earlier, close later and offer games twice a week instead of just once.
The bill also increases the amount of money bingo operators can spend
on advertising.

Under Missouri law, bingo games can be operated only by charitable, religious, veteran, fraternal and service organizations.

The
number of groups licensed to run regular bingo games has fallen by more
than half during the past 15 years, as casinos expanded in Missouri.

Missouri's
expanded bingo law will take effect Aug. 28. Nixon says it should help
boost revenues for nonprofit groups that serve their communities.
